Museum der bildenden Künste
The Museum of Fine Arts (MdbK for short) is one of the oldest civic collections in Germany. Numerous masterpieces from the 7.000th to the 15st century are presented on over 21 square meters of exhibition space.
500 years of art history under one roof invites encounters with Old Masters such as Frans Hals and Lucas Cranach the Younger, the Romantics Caspar David Friedrich and Andreas Achenbach, and Leipzig artists such as Max Beckmann and Max Klinger. The art of the Leipzig Schools is also represented in the MdbK collection. These schools are well-known to art lovers and collectors worldwide and include works by artists such as Bernhard Heisig, Wolfgang Mattheuer, Neo Rauch, Matthias Weischer, and Christiane Baumgartner.
The Museum of Fine Arts also offers a wide-ranging educational program, including the "emdebeka" workshops with changing questions and artistic practices for children ages 4 and 7, workshops during the summer, fall, and winter holidays, and public tours of the museum. The Leipzig Children's and Youth Exhibition also finds its home at the MdbK.
